I had a lawyer, but he held me for 2 months, he did'nt do anything and only dropped my case because it was an auto accident and the other party did'nt have any insurance.

if you want to speed up the process get a lawyer for yourself, or at least find a pre law student that is willing to help you learn about the laws of your case. If you want to get the attn of the other guy's lawyer...hahahahaha I worked in a law office for a few months it was a trip! Lawyers are all bs and smoke. Return a call, the only lawyer that ever even cared about me really, was one that was a friend of my family since he had been a kid! That lawyer is working for the other guy not you so he isn't going to work any faster than what they guy is paying him, god awful truth! Good Luck because if you don't have a lawyer of your own you'll need it. as for getting any money right away you might as well look somewhere else, even if you are awarded any money if the guy who is supposed to pay you doens't have it, you might be getting it in payments over a period of time.....
hope this helped a little good luck

Lawyers and courts can delay cases for years sometimes. There is no way to be sure what delays may happen. Sometimes a delay can actually help you. I would go to my local clerk of superior court, and ask to see the case file if the case has already been presented before the court. You can file your own motion. Find a similar motion like you would file, and basically use the same words changing only what is applicable to your own case. If another person is trying to avoid paying a sum that is due to you, find an attorney or a legal aide that will assist you if you feel you need help.

You will probably never see dime unless you get a lawyer. And the longer you take to hire a lawyer, the more mistakes you will make, enabling his weasel of a lawyer to reduce his clients liability.
Why is your insurance company not covering your medical expenses and seeking the restitution from the other driver?

My case took about two years, but was a wrongful death suit....It was by nature more serious....
All I can tell you is hound this lawyer at least once a week. They will drag it as long as they can, if he doesnt seem to want to get it settled, threaten him you will be getting representation if he keeps blowing you off. Why don't you have a lawyer???

The other lawyer is going to totally ignore you.
Why would he do anything unless you take him to court?
You can whine & complain for the next billion years but it is unlikely to cause the lawyer to do anything other than laugh at you.
If you don't have a court order, you are wasting your time.

If this is a lawsuit, and the lawyer is working on an hourly wage rather than a contingency fee, it could take quite a while.
